I had backed off on my Cassel hate in the second half of the season because he actually started to play with a modicum of competence. But I never stopped being wary of him, because he was playing well against shitty, shitty ****ing teams.

But today is proof positive that Cassel is NOT the answer. He will NOT be a franchise quarterback. He simply doesn't have the ability or the intelligence that is required. He never really progressed this season; he just managed to not shit himself against the NFC West.

Very true. But he does this whenever the Chiefs get down and it REQUIRES him to throw them back into the game. He just folds, looks tentative, and the sacks and interceptions just start flowing. He just isn't built to come from behind.

Outside of Charles and Bowe what other toys does he have to play with? Im convinced the OL is not good enough either.

*But you may be right. He may not be the answer. But Im with petegz28, the loss is not on him alone. We have a lot of glaring team needs. And to say he didnt progress during the season, man, I don't know about that? He did however, fold these last two games.

How long we looking

2011, first big game in the rain
2012, first big game in the new Nike SuperAir cleats.
2015, first big game with the new O-line [who were in HS when he came into the league]

I'd like to see you throw the ball WHEN ALL YOUR ****ING RECEIVERS ARE BLANKETED. Okay okay maybe 2 or 3 times he missed a check down or 2 but honestly? PLAY WAS ****ING terrible from the Receivers! Passing game is 2 MAN OPERATION - Receivers don't get open? Cassel starts forcing throws! Forced throws make INT'S. Quit ****ing crying and trying to blame him for shit. He doesn't suck and the NE year proved that.
